Not the definition of sovereign I was expecting.
Pardon my ignorance, but why yet another fork? Aren’t there already hardened distributions suited for government use? To me the hard part seems to be the services needed for enterprise mgmt; software provisioning, policies, user acces mgmt, auditing/compliance scanning. Perhaps a good idea to look at parties that can also offer ‘corporate’ support at scale. https://ubuntu.com/gov perhaps?
Not to talk about SUSE and OpenSUSE which is in fact European
I think it’s not a distribution really, more of a set of layers on top of a distribution. Like a blueprint for how to setup a distribution for government use in a standardised way. Or sth like that, I didn’t really understand it completely.
Also making our governments dependent on a US organisation seems like a very bad idea, even if it is Ubuntu.
Canonical Ltd. Is registered in London, England. How is that a US organisation?
Canonical is based in the UK.
Okay, so it’s Fedora KDE with fuck-all in the way of any sort of progress to differentiate itself and no defined reason why it should exist. So we’re talking about it why again? I just downloaded Fedora KDE to my desktop. If anyone wants the ISO, I’m calling it Lemmy OS and adding a message of the day that says “Lemmy rulez!!” to make it unique.
This is a great project and I hope we can band together to make it a reality! For us Linux and FOSS enthusiasts we have a real window of opportunity now to drastically increase the adoption of Linux as the Europeans OS of choice.
The distro used in this POC is not so important. It is just the easiest problem among other much harder problems to discuss and solve to make this a reality.
So many bike sheds. So little time.
